Hall Rental Policies
We offer both our social hall and our parish hall for rent. You can also find information about Weddings in our Church below.
These policies apply to all rentals
Liability Insurance
The Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph requires that all non-Parish functions be covered by Special Events Coverage, which is acquired through an outside insurance company. The cost of this short term coverage is approximately $135 per event to be paid by the renter in addition to normal rental fees. This special event insurance can be found at KandKInsurance.com. Please name St. James Catholic Church Liberty Mo as "additional insured." After receiving the insurance the parish office needs a copy for our files.
Clean Up
Renters are expected to provide acceptable clean up following the event that would return the facility to the condition it was prior to the event; this includes the restrooms in the social hall hallway. Failure to adequately clean up the facility will result in a further charge to cover the cost of the parish custodial team ($200). Failure to clean the kitchen will result in a $50 fee.
